• Duration and Exercise of Warrants (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) at any time and from time to time on or after January 27, 2006 to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall expire and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant. (b) Subject to Section 10, upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to Purchase, together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which may bear a restrictive legend as set forth in Section 7. To effect an exercise hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth on the attached Annex A. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

• Duration and Exercise of Warrant (a) Subject to Section 1.2, this Warrant may be exercised to purchase (i) 50% of the underlying shares from and after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on January 24, 2002 (the "First Exercise Date") and (ii) 50% of the underlying shares on January 24, 2003 (the "Second Exercise Date"). Each of the First Exercise Date and the Second Exercise Date are hereinafter referred to from time to time, as applicable, as the "Exercise Date" and collectively from time to time as the "Exercise Dates"). The Company shall give prompt notice to the Warrantholder of the Exercise Date in accordance with Section 7.6. This Warrant expires at 5:00 P.M., New York City time on January 24, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"). (b) The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder of record, in whole, or from time to time in part, by (a) surrender of this Warrant, accompanied by either the Exercise Form annexed hereto, or if the Warrantholder decides to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company, an applicable exercise form provided by the Company (the "Exercise Form") duly executed by the Warrantholder of record and specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, to the Company at the office of the Company located at 0000 XxXxxxxx Xxxxxx, Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75204 (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder at the address of such Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) during normal business hours on any day (a "Business Day") other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is authorized to close or on which the Company is otherwise closed for business (a "Nonbusiness Day") on or after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the applicable Exercise Date but not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (or 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), (b) delivery of payment to the Company in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House Funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form (such payment may be made by the Warrantholder directly or by a designated broker pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company) and (c) such documentation as to the identity and authority of the Warrantholder as the Company may reasonably request. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed by the Company to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 10 business days, thereafter. The stock certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of at least 1,000 shares each or such other denomination as may be specified by the Warrantholder and agreed upon by the Company, and shall be issued in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise Form. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No adjustments or payments shall be made on or in respect of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares. (c) With the consent of the Compensation Committee, and subject at all times to, and only to the extent, if any, permitted under and in accordance with, laws and regulations and other binding obligations or provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may make a loan to the Warrantholder with respect to the exercise of the Warrant, including the payment by the Warrantholder of any or all federal, state and local income or other taxes due in connection with any exercise. The interest on such loan shall be the Company's cost of money plus an additional 0.5% at the time the loan is made and such loan shall be made with recourse against the Warrantholder. The Compensation Committee shall have the full authority to determine any other terms and provisions of such a loan.

• Method of Exercise Payment Issuance of New Warrant Transfer and Exchange 4.1. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised any time during the Effective Period. If this Warrant is exercised on the Effective Date of a Triggering Event, such exercise shall be deemed to occur prior to the occurrence of the Triggering Event, except for purposes of determining the Fair Value per share of Common Stock, the Number of Shares and determining the number of shares outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis hereunder. 4.2. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivery to the Corporation at its office at 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000, Attention: Chief Executive Officer (or such other address as the Corporation may specify to Holder from time to time), of (a) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) payment of the Exercise Price in the manner provided below and (c) this Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made at the option of Holder by (i) wire transfer to an account in a bank located in the United States designated for such purpose by the Corporation, (ii) certified or official bank check, (iii) cancellation of indebtedness of the Corporation to Holder at the time of exercise, (iv) cancellation as of the date of exercise of a portion of this Warrant (calculated as the net fair market value of such cancelled portion at the time of exercise) or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The net fair market value of any portion of this Warrant cancelled in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price shall be determined by (A) multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which the portion of this Warrant to be cancelled was exercisable by (ii) the Fair Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of cancellation and (B) subtracting from such product the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock for which the portion of this Warrant to be cancelled was exercisable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, (x) certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding 15 days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of the shares of Common Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and (y) unless this Warrant has expired pursuant to section 3 hereof, a new Warrant representing the number of shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time. Any such warrant shall be dated the date hereof and shall represent the right to purchase the remaining number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto. 4.3. Subject to compliance with section 6 hereof, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Corporation, properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Subject to compliance with section 6 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable at the aforesaid principal office of the Corporation for two or more warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, each new warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. If this Warrant is transferred or exchanged for two or more Warrants prior to the Effective Date of a Triggering Event, the Number of Shares issuable under each such warrant shall be a percentage of the Number of Shares issuable hereunder which, together with all other warrants issued in the transfer or exchange of this Warrant, shall aggregate 100% of the Number of Shares hereunder. Any such warrants shall be dated the date hereof and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto.

• Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

• Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant Subject to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the election of the holder hereof, by: (a) the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company (a “Wire Transfer”) of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased; (b) if in connection with a registered public offering of the Company’s securities, the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company together with notice of arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company for payment to the Company either by certified or bank check or by Wire Transfer from the proceeds of the sale of shares to be sold by the holder in such public offering of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased; or (c) exercise of the “net issuance” right provided for in Section 10.2 hereof. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the holder(s) hereof as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder(s) hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such thirty (30)-day period; provided, however, at such time as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if requested by the holder of this Warrant, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant to a broker or other person (as directed by the holder exercising this Warrant) within the time period required to settle any trade made by the holder after exercise of this Warrant.

This Option shall be exercisable only in the event that and to the extent that such Option has become vested and exercisable pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.b (or Sections 7 or 8 below, if applicable). Subject to the earlier termination of this Option pursuant to its terms and to the terms of the Option Plan, this Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows, but only if the Optionee is then an employee of or continues to provide services to the Company or an Affiliate at the specified time: (i) Up to twenty percent (20%) of such Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) may be purchased at any time after one (1) year from the Grant Date and prior to the termination of this Option; (ii) Up to forty percent (40%) of such Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share and less any shares previously purchased pursuant to this Option that vest pursuant to this Section 3.b) may be purchased at any time after two (2) years from the Grant Date and prior to the termination of this Option; (iii) Up to sixty percent (60%) of such Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share and less any shares previously purchased pursuant to this Option that vest pursuant to this Section 3.b) may be purchased at any time after three (3) years from the Grant Date and prior to the termination of this Option; (iv) Up to eighty percent (80%) of such Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share and less any shares previously purchased pursuant to this Option that vest pursuant to this Section 3.b) may be purchased at any time after four (4) years from the Grant Date and prior to the termination of this Option; (v) Up to 100% of such Option Shares (less any shares previously purchased pursuant to this Option that vest pursuant to this Section 3.b) may be purchased at any time after five (5) years from the Grant Date and prior to the termination of this Option. c. To exercise this Option, the Optionee shall satisfy the following conditions: (i) deliver written notice to the Company at its principal office within the option period, which written notice must be in the form of attached Exhibit A to this Agreement, and (ii) deliver payment in full for the Option Shares with respect to which this Option is then being exercised, as provided in Section 4(a) below. d. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s legal representatives, legatees or distributees, as the case may be, will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Option Shares for any purpose unless and until certificates for such Option Shares are issued (or are reflected upon the official records of the Company) to the Optionee or the Optionee’s legal representatives, legatees or distributees, under the terms of the Option Plan.

• Right to Convert Warrant Into Stock Net Issuance (i) In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder may elect to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right") into shares of Common Stock, the aggregate value of which shares shall be equal to the value of this Warrant or the portion thereof being converted. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of the holder's intention to exercise the Conversion Right, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula: X= Y(A-B) ------ A Where: X The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder. Y The number of shares of Common Stock representing the portion of this Warrant that is being converted. A The fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock. B The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations). (ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the "fair market value" per share of the Company's Common Stock shall mean, the average daily Market Price (as defined below) during the period of the most recent 20 days, ending on the last business day before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right, on which the national securities exchanges were open for trading, except that if no class of the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted in the over-counter market, the fair market value shall be the Market Price on the last business day before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right. If the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, or is listed on the National Market System (the "National Market System") of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (the "NASDAQ"), the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or on the National Market System on such date or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or on the National Market System. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on such date (x) by the NASDAQ or (y) if reports are unavailable under clause (x) above by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be determined in good faith by written resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company.

• Warrant Price Duration and Exercise of Warrants Section 2.1.

The exercise of this Option will be contingent upon receipt from the Optionee (or the purchaser acting under Section 7 below) of the full Exercise Price of such Option Shares. Payment may be made in cash or by a cashier’s or certified check. However, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the Committee, and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or Committee deems appropriate in its discretion, payment of the Exercise Price or a portion thereof may be made by surrender to the Company of previously acquired shares of Common Stock, such shares to be credited against the Exercise Price based upon the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of exercise, or by a combination of the above. No Option Shares will be issued until full payment therefor has been made and the Optionee has executed any and all agreements that the Company may require the Optionee to execute. b.
